Bioeconomy has been considered a strategic alternative for the sustainable development of the Amazon by integrating environmental conservation, the valorization of sociobiodiversity, and income generation. However, its consolidation faces logistical barriers, low value-added production, and weaknesses in socio-productive arrangements. This article proposes an integrated framework of logistics and circular economy aimed at structuring Amazonian bioeconomic value chains, developed through a systematic literature review. A total of 52 articles published between 2015 and 2025 were analyzed, selected from the Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO databases. The content analysis identified four foundational pillars: i) the region’s specific logistical challenges; ii) practices associated with the circular economy; iii) socio-productive inclusion; and iv) the adaptation of business models to local realities. These pillars support a framework composed of four interdependent dimensions (territorial, social, logistical, and economic-productive), which articulate technical and institutional solutions to strengthen productive chains adapted to Amazonian contexts. The results indicate that the integration of circularity, decentralized logistics, and territorial governance is essential for developing sustainable, resilient, and inclusive production arrangements. The model offers guidance for public policies, community initiatives, and business strategies focused on enhancing the region’s sociobiodiversity.
